I had a parrot but...someone stole him. He had a big cage but in the house I kept the door open and he liked to sit on top. He wouldn't have anything to do with anyone but me and liked to eat drumsticks:') Reba has the most awesome bird I've ever seen though. He makes the complete telephone cycle sound from dialing to answering. He also can whistle several songs. She'll have to be the one to tell you what he said to her the time she threw something at him though:')
